    I see so many people making the point that they have some syndrome and so they need x, y, z in a job. Valid, I'm sure, personally well-considered, true and everything, but still, indicative of a person who's problems are more impo

    How do you know how many pixels the ball will take up in a sports photograph before capturing it? Enough to see it, not so many that you can’t see everything else. Same with lines of code, except that instead of a photographer, there is an
